Chrono-Lord Epoch is sent by the leader of the Infinite dragonflight to make sure he mixes the past events in Old Stratholme. In World of Warcraft, he is the third boss of the Culling of Stratholme; an instance introduced in Wrath of the Lich King.

Adventure Guide

The infinite dragonflight often tries subtle methods to manipulate the timeways, but if that fails they can send an assassin to deal with Arthas directly. While little is known about the agents of the infinite dragonflight, Epoch displays a dangerous mastery of time that makes him a deadly obstacle to Arthas's future.

Attacks and abilities

•  Time Warp — Time slows down, reducing attack, casting and movement speed by 70% for 6 sec. Epoch also attacks a party member three times in quick succession during this.
•  Time Step — Chrono-Lord Epoch steps through time, charging a random player and inflicting Physical damage to them.
•  Wounding Strike — Savagely wounds the target, dealing 100% weapon damage, reducing healing effects by 25%, and 750 Physical damage every 1 sec. for 4 sec. Used only on the tank.
•  Curse of Exertion  — Increases the cost of spells and abilities by 100% for 8 sec. Can be removed.
•  Time Stop  — Stuns the whole party for 2–3 seconds. Stun duration affected by talents which reduce stun effects.

Strategies

Typical tank and spank encounter but with some things to look out for. Curse of Exertion should be decursed from the healer asap to avoid the healer going oom mid-fight. Healers should watch out for the party member getting attacked during Time Warp.
